against his election was his alleged re-
! lation to the old regime of Republican
officials, whose conduct of certain pub
lie affairs in years past was the chief
cause of the political revolution in the
! county last fall. But, above
| and back of all that, there
! are general causes at work to
weaken the Republican party of Pen
ningtOn. TO begin with, they have to
| stand the odium of the eXtravagant and
| irregular-nOt to use any stronger term
administrations of the early and pio-
neer stages of the country and city,
here as nearly everywhere in new cOui-
tries. A series of these acts brought the
! revolt of last year. The Democrats have
! taken shrewd advantage of the partisan
ammunition thus stored up in the past,
although in many of the worst abuses
some of their leaders were particeps
cfiminiS,
/ IF THERE WAS ANY "CRIAIINIS."
/ But the Republicans have done full
as much for their opponents as the lat
/ ter have done for themselves in the past
two years, by refusing to recognize the
popular current and retire from candi-
dacy and prominence III the party those
who were most criticised for connection
with old administration abuses. In the
present election they played directly
INTO the hands OF their opponents by a
continuance of these mistakes, and
clinched it by a series of the most blum
dering and impOlitic stump speeches
the night before efection-the DemOc-
racy not having held a meeting. In
deed, the Democrats. are saved most of
the labor and expense of campaigns
lately by their opponents. Under these
! continued mistakes the Republican
party here is getting somewhat demon
allied. Without judiciOus leaders, with
a past record that its leaders seem bent
OH keeping before the people, without
a reputable party organ, and with weak
party conference and enthusiasm, it be-
gins to look asif the Republicans of
Pennington must go into the minority
until tie. days of their party purgatiOn
be past and new men can climb to the
box and take the ribbons. The Demo
Gratis here are by nosmeanS harmonious.
nor do they seem to be particularly well
differed, save in the one ability to take
advantage of their opponents blunders.
If the Republicans succeed in recasting
their party organization, the Democrats
will have to do the same. or take their
turn at being drubbed. The art of not
getting caught at it is not the whole sci
encc Of political management: albeit,
like charity and a Custer jury's verdict,
it covers multitude of sins.

Prohibition Wins and Division
Fails to Draw Votes, But
Totals are Lacking.
A Review of the Situation and
a Table Of Unofficial
Estimates.
Gen. Campbell Claims About
$4,000 Majority for Divis-
ion in South Dakota.
Mai. Edwards Thinks the Ma
jority in the Territory Will
Be About 10000.

But little of a definite character can
be said about the actual result of the
Dakota election at this time, as the re-
turns are still meager and incomplete.
The figures that tell the real story will
probably not be known until the official
count is made. But enough is apparent
on the surface to make it clear that the
PrOhibitiOniSts have gained substan-
tlal victOry-in fact, in large number
field. Tables of figures claiming
to show anything like the total vote and
majoritieS would be of little value. Ger
tain it is, however. that the diviSioniSts
have not achieved their purpose. They
can show a majority for division of the
votes cast, but they have not pOlled a
majority of the votes of the territory.
Therefore, the result will have no eff
feet in determining the matter before
congress. The question as to whether
the people of Dakota want division has
not been decided. The fact is,
if local option had not been
made an issue there would
not have been one-fourth the vote cast
that there was. 1t was local option that
drew out the people. There was actu-
ally little interest in the division ques-
ton. With local option as a helping
factor to bring out the vote, however,
the election has been of no benefit to
the divisionists. The vote has been
light everywhere, and, compared with
the election of 1886, makes very sorry
shOwing-if it was intended that this
should be taken as an expression of the
sentiment of the people of the
whole territory. In 1856 there
were nearly 100000 votes cast-67,O 900
for Clifford and $1,000 for Day. The
diviSioniStS would have had to cast at
least 10000 votes in the election of Tues
day in order to show to congress pre-
pOnderance of sentiment in favor of di-
vision. This they have not DONE There
fore their effort has been a failure. The
votes cast against division are of no
significance, because no effort was made
by the anti-divisiOnistS to make con-
test. 1t is fair to presume, though, that
the voters who remained away from the
polls were opposed to division. There
fore the majority which the
divisionists obtained on Tuesday is
really no majority at ALL The local OPP
ton people are the only ones who have
justification. They have won in uneX-
pected quarters, but it is doubtful if
they could do it again when party lines
were drawn. The conditions under
which they waged their fight were pc
culiarly favorable, and might never
occur again. When the official figures
are all in there will be plenty of material
upon which to draw comparisons and
deductions. In the present chaotic state
of affairs there is little good to be ac-
cOmpliShed by Surmising. The following
table compiled from the latest returns,
however, will give an idea of the situa-
ton, although estimates are made in a
good many instances:

the tracts, which needs to be cured or re-
lieved by judicial or legislative action by
which the government will obtain all that
is due it from the railroad and no hard
ship be imposed upon innocent purchas-
erS, But even if the land department
shall recognize the claims of these new
contestants, they will find long and
costly route before them. They will
have to dispOSSeSS the occupants, run
the gauntlet of unsympathetic courts,
and then have the hardest tussle with
the great corporation, which can COM
mand lobby at Washington unsur-
passed by even that which the
Union Pacific has had in its
most influential periods. Congress will
almost assuredly do its bidding, so far,
at least, as to confirm the rights of the
parties who bought the lands. The I'M
pecuniOus litigants who occupy the
shacks upon the farms viii stand no
show in this shuttle. They will have
exhausted their small means and
wasted their energies in a profitless
contest. They may enrich land attOr-
neys. but that will be about all they will
accomplish. If this view is warranted
by the situation, it is to be regretted
that any additional encouragement
should be extended the sQuatters from
official sources. Still it is believed that
the general policy of the land depart
ment, to repossess lands not earned
by railroad pOsseSSors, is the true one.
The public domain is passing away
rapidly, and comparatively small pOr-
ton of desirable character for cultivation
yet remains. This should be sedulOusly
conserved for the men who will make
homes and small farms upon it. No
more should be converted into vast
estates Or allowed to fall into the grasp
of corporations or spectators. The
commissioner evidently means right,
but these improved indemnity lands
furnish an exceptional case and require
special treatment.

JUDGE FRANCIS TALKS.

He Says a Good Word for Church,
Mcclure and Triple Was
With Chief Justice Waite When
the Bogus Machine Was De-
Iivered.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Judge Fran
els, of Dakota, is very genial and en-
tertaining conversationalist. He is
pleasant in manner and instructive
upon many matters. Being asked
whether or not he intends to remain in
Dakota after his retirement, voluntary
or enforced, from the bench, he said:
81 am a thorough Dakotian. It
doesn't take many years of residence in
a new country for one to become an old
settler. My health was not good when
l went to Bismarck in 1882, but since
that time it is strange and unusual for
me to have an ache or pain. The eli
mate is the best in the world, the people
are large-hearted, generous and friendly.
Exceptionally good people have come to
Dakota. Even the foreign element
upon our prairieS will usually be found
to be composed of the better classes of
their several nationalities."
'You speak we'll of people who have
spoken otherwise of yOu."
"Not at all. The people who have
spoken ill of me are politicians. Those
who do not know me, and have spoken
and written against me, have done so at
the instigatiOn of politicians. Wherever
have gone, in my judicial capacity, /
have been met with courtesy and cor
diality. The people are honest and sin
cere. They can be misled and mistaken
about individuals whom they have never
seen, and they have been led to suppose
that / am an ogre, a Villains crazy man,

A POPULAR DAKOTIAN.

The honorable secretary of the terri
tory was born in Friendsville, Susque-
hanna county, Pa, Nov. &c, 1S47, in
early life removing to Minnesota, where
he received the rudimentS of common
school education. In the spring of 1871,
when Grand Forks was but way sta
ton for the dog trains that carried the
mails, and the streets were laid out
like those of Gotham, along cow
paths, he located there and clerked
in the store of the HudsOn's Bay COM
pany. By dint of energy he was pro-
NOTED and won the sobriquet of captain
as chief officer of the steamer Alpha, of
the Red River Transportation line, at
time when ali the freight and passen-
gers of this Northwest country were
transported on the Red river between
Fargo and Winnipeg. In 1882 the
Grand Forks Roller Mill company was
organized, and Capt. Mccormack was
elected president, and has continued in
that capacity ever since, practically
managing its affairs. He also became
president of the Citizens National
bank, and in the spring of that
year was elected mayor of the
young and thriving city, being twice re-
elected without opposition. In 1880 he
was the Democratic nominee for dele
SolC3 ollO OH lively
canvass, considering the sparseness of
Democrats in the territory in those
times. He was later offered Democratic
nominations, but declined them, on ac-
count of his growing business interests.
In 1885 the Grand Forks National bank
was organized and he became president
of the new bank, a position he now oc-
cupies. When the change of admins
tration came Mr.. McCormack's friends
pushed him for territorial
appointment, and the contest was an
exceedingly lively one, but was finally
concluded to the satisfaction OF all by
the nomination of Capt. Mccormack for
territorial secretary, position second
only to that of governor, which he has
filled with eminent satisfaction. His
home in Grand Forks is pleasantly stu
ated ON the bank of the river, and his
charming wife dispenses true hospital
ity to all corners. Mr.. Mccormack has
two interesting children, the elder, Miss
Elite, having recently returned from
school at Wheeling, w. Va.

A QUEER COMPLICATION.
The Redfield SaloOnkeepers Claim
That the County Commissioners
Cannot Revoke their Licenses.


Special to the Globe.
REDFIELD, Nov. 11.-NOw that the
local optionists have carried the day in
this county, considerable speculation is
being INDUCED in as to what the effect
will be on the saloon licenses in this
city. The new law reads that, in the
counties where local option shall carry,
the county commissioners shall. as soon
as the vote is canvaSsed, revoke all
licenses and refund the money paid.
The commissioners of Sphinx have never
issued license, but, in this city,. the
council did SO, under special provision
of the city charter, which gives them,
the council, the control of the liquor
traffic in the city. The question of the
right of the city authorities to do so, in
disregard of the action of the county
commissioners in refusing to license,
came up before old Judge Smith. at the
first term of court held in the county in
1884. The ruling of the court at that
time. was to the effect that the city had
authority to license. There Is no au-
thority in the new law for the council
to revoke the license, and the right of
the commissioners to act in the matter
is, to say the least, doubtful, in view Of
the fact that they never issued the
licenses. The outcome will be watched
with considerable interest. The lead
